Starting this thread to get people's thoughts on next years farm bill.
I really wish they would truly make it an agriculture only bill and put things like food stamps in a different bill.
Regardless.... there is plenty to talk about.
Personally, I will be watching what they do with CRP as it affects me the most. As many know, especially anyone that has looked into it in the last month, we are basically completely out of CRP acres with the 24 million acre national cap. 10 years ago there was over 36 million acres in the program. Personally, looking at stats, 30M acres seems appropriate.
Tons of other things to watch....income caps, farm payment caps, trade policy, Crop insurance programs.
What are your issues? What are you looking for?
